Product Description
While boards acknowledge they bear ultimate responsibility and accountability for their organizations' affairs, governance quality is often far from optimal. The High- Performance Board offers pragmatic and candid advice about what your board must do to maximize performance and contributions. The authors provide sixty-four principles designed to help your board achieve peak performance. They describe every principle in detail and present best practices and practical applications for each one. Each section of the book concludes with a board check-up-a set of questions that can be used to assess your board in light of the principles. A quick read for busy board members, this book is the ultimate board "drivers' manual."

Must Have for All NonProfit Boards!!, July 13 2008
By K. Aguon "angelmum49" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The High-Performance Board: Principles of Nonprofit Organization Governance (Paperback)
Our organization conducts a Board Development Training every year for the nonprofit orgs in our community and this book was a blessing to have. Although we didn't use material directly from the book, we highly encouraged all attendees to purchase it, even if they had to find a used copy.Excellent, practical content and easy to read.
Must get at least one for each nonprofit board!!
